All the way from Japan comes a new notebook made by PC-Koubou and codenamed Lesance GSN801GAW which is a top-notch unit with a price tag of $5,400.

With such a high price tag the Lesance notebook offers an excellent set of features:

- Intel Core i7-940XM quad-core processor at 2.13GHz;
- 8GB of memory RAM;
- nVidia GeForce GTX 480M graphics card with 2GB;
- 18.4-inch screen with Full HD resolution of 1920

Here is the ClickSafe from Kensington, and it allows users to lock up their laptop.

Honestly, I have never used one, but probably should. I would hate to come out of the bathroom at the Coffee Shop or library and find that the laptop is stolen.

The ClickSafe Keyed Laptop Lock has a click-to-lock mechanism, and works by attaching a protruding knob that can be attached to the laptop via Allen wrench. From there, a key is needed, of course.

You should be able to get Kensington’s new ClickSafe locking system for $49.99.

Lenovo has two reasons to celebrate today. The first is illustrated here with this chart showing the progress of the ThinkPad from 1984 until now. Over the past 25 years or so, Lenovo has shipped 60 million of these ThinkPads. Just to let you know, the ThinkPad was the first to offer built-in CD and DVD drives, not to mention the first build-in WiFi.

The other reason to celebrate is that the T series will be the first business notebooks to use NVIDIA’s Optimus graphics that allow the user to switch between the dedicated NVS 3100M video chip and Intel’s integrated chipset. This will affect models T410, T410s, and the T510.
